Do you want to know what the deal breaker on any salad is? It's not the lettuce, tomatoes, or even the dressing. It's the croutons. That's right, those little cubes of crunchy garlic bread. I freaking love croutons. There was a day when I would get a salad, pick off all the croutons and hand the remaining salad to one of my family members. I've gotten better about it since then, but the croutons still remain the highlight for me. I could snack on those things on their own. If I ever owned a restaurant, I would offer a big bowl of croutons as an appetizer. If it was a buffet style, there would be a bin with nothing but croutons for people to scoop out as they see fit. I'm kind of surprised they haven't caught on as an individual snack food as they really are quite tasty. Now, you can buy boxes of them on their own at grocery stores, but as far as I know, it's generally for the purpose of adding to salad, and not solo snacking (though I did do that back when I worked at a grocery store). Me, I enjoy them as is, although they adding them to salad is always beneficial.
